Birthing a life.

(ARIELLE'S POV)

What was that? I thought, suddenly panicky. Was it labor? I know I was in my ninth month, but I was not due for delivery until the end of the month and today was just day 15. The pain hit again, more intense this time, and I doubled over. Oh God, something's over.

I limped to the living room, grabbed my handbag, and fumbled for my phone. My fingers trembled as I dialed Dwayne's number.

"Please pick up, please pick up," I chanted.

"Dwayne!" I exclaimed, relief washing over me when he answered.

"Arielle, what's up?"

"I... I'm in pain, I don't know, but it hurts so much. My abdomen, waist-"

"What? Where are you?" He asked, his voice urgent.

"I'm at home. I-"

"Damnit! I'm about to board my flight."

"Sorry, I forgot..." I paused, the pain overwhelming me.
